there's a funky smell in my dryer.
i put some of those deodorizing cloths in it and set it for ten minutes.
is this okay? I just want to get rid of the nasty odor.
My dryer won't overheat from running with nothing inside it, will it?

My dishwasher is not cleaning the dishes liked it used to...when I take the dishes out of the machine, there is a film of dried on crumbs on the dishes, even on the ones that weren't even that dirty. I've used the dishwasher additive to help make rinsing easier, but that doesn't help much either. Also, the jets on the blade look plugged up a bit with crap....how do I clean that out? Help?

Are your smoke detectors checked regularly, batteries replaced every year?
Do you have an escape route practice with your family?
Do you have a fire extinguisher near by or several in the home and know how to use them?

At work we are always made very aware of safety at work or on sites. Do we do the same at home?
We should!!

Configuration:
Two connected switches that each say "30" go for an outlet for the computer, the total master bedroom, and the central A/C.

The same--2 connected 30's seem to be for nothing.

The same--2 connected 30's for the 220 dryer.

One "20" (not the skinny one, but the next size) for the lights in 5 rooms plus a few outlets.

One of the same "20" not skinny for an outlet that does nothing.

Several skinny "20" breakers:
1. 2 outlets
2. outlet to washing machine
3. outlet by the sink
4. six more that seem to go to nothing

Question:I was wondering what and individual can do to prevent foundation damage to their home and what corrective actions can be taken.

In regards to: Currently I own a home in San Anotnio which I have been told the soil looks as though it is settling and had been advised to possibly call an engineer.

Thank you!

Do I have to soak the acorns in hot water and then keep in moist sand and peat mix for two weeks at 18 - 21 degrees and all that rubbish, or do I just plant in moist sand and peat and let the acorns just grow? How do I do it? Same question on how to grow a Walnut tree from walnuts?

My neighbors constantly complain about my son's music level during the day which is not kept at terribly annoying levels, at least when I am home. They fight constantly, have a baby that screams almost 24/7 and I am about to start calling the police every time. The wife has stolen my laundry detergent, another neighbors quarters and throws clean clothes on the basement floor. She turned off their hot water heater so that they're using up everyone else's hot water!!!! I understand apartment living is not conducive to complete quiet, but you've got to be able to live. I have never once complained about them and they are LOUD. I could go on and on with examples. I know it's petty but I am not in a position to move at this time and would like to know what annoying things I can do to maybe make them want to move.

I am adding a pool heater that requires 11/4" to feed the unit. I do have 11/4 in my basement, but am not sure how to cut the pipe and add a "T" to it. Do I have to dissasemble everything? If I cut the pipe, I will not have the threads to screww on to.
Thanks
